Infuse is an initiative in the city of Tucson, Arizona, that is equipping the church to get behind the next wave of leaders who seek to do the business of mission – and not just business as usual.
Infuse was born out of conversations between five Christian leaders who shared a common desire who all wished that their non-traditional missional ideas had been more deeply understood, affirmed, supported, and resourced by the local church within the past decade. All of them wanted to help equip the church to get behind the next wave of leaders like themselves. Though not all of these leaders had the capacity to carry this particular idea forward, their stories and wisdom have shaped what Infuse is becoming today.
